Over the course of a year, Ahmed and a team of Muslims and Christians traveled to more than 75 US cities, visiting more than 100 mosques, residences and educational institutions and conducting roughly 2,000 interviews in which they asked provocative questions of Muslims and Christians alike. Journey into America is the fruit of this effort, replete with insights on the common American misperception of Islam, as well as the challenges facing Muslims from within their own community. While Ahmed's research reveals some disheartening truths, there is much hope in this book.
